WHAT IS A SPECIAL STUDENT? (From the Methodist University
Academic Catalogue)"Special students at Methodist University are defined
as non-degree-seeking students who enroll in courses on a one-time or intermittent
basis for reasons including personal enrichment or professional development.
Once such individuals provide an official high school/GED transcript as proof
of [diploma], they will be classified as special students by the Office of Admissions
and may register for a maximum of 30 credit hours (Online students taking only
one online course can register before submitting their transcript; however,
the transcript must be submitted before completion of the course). Special student
enrollment is subject to the availability of space in the course. Special students
may not live on campus. Veteran benefits are not available to special students."
